  True that the Malaysian APC's was part of the UN operation. But u gotta admit..if it were not for the APC's, the US will be picking up more body bags. I gotta give the US credit though..they NEVER leave no one behind. As long as u are an American citizen..soldier.. the will send the army in just to get ur sorry ass outta there.

  LOL!!! After Black Hawk Down incident,I seriously doubt they will do it again in the same situation...... They don know they will suffer so many casualties by attempting to rescue them!

  Although in the operation to capture adid's top leaders and himself ended in disaster with the downing of 2 Blackhawks.It created many heroes of the troopers on the ground who fought for the lives of each other not for any political reasoning or motive,but purly for the survival for their fellow brothers-in-arms.
  
  Everytime the operation in Somalia is mentioned...amongst the many heros,the two most distinct who pop into my mind are Randy Shurghart and Gary Gordon.Selflessly requesting to be landed to protect Mike Durant's crashsite.People who barely know each other by looks and not name,willing to scarifice their very lives for them.That's a really noble act. A salute to Randy Shughart and Gary Gordon.

  Brave men who fought and died for their fellow brothers.
  
  RIP.
